Rent hockey gear at NV store

RENTING HOCKEY gear for kids is a new idea that has come to North Vancouver, enabling parents to save on start-up costs when their children are bitten by the hockey bug.

By Patrick Raynard Contributing Writer

Time Out Sports in Lynn Valley Centre is the first company in Canada that offers families the option of renting a complete hockey kit that consists of a CSA-appreed helmet and mask, shoulder and elbow pads, pants, shin guards, gloves, skates and a bag.

Mike Statham, manager of Time Out, said the package ap- plies to both girls and boys from ages four to 10.

“We aim this mainly at the beginning hockey player, to help a kid decide whether to stay in the

sport or not," Statham said.

Time Out Sports guarantees correctly fitting equipment for two years, regardless of how fast the child grows and how often she or he may need bigger gear.

The customer's $199.99 pay- ment covers the entire two-year period.

This year, there’s an added bonus in that all the rentat equipment is brand new. Statham, 21, says, ‘*if we were to actually sell all this gear to a customer it would cost $372.

“We have more hockey equip- ment in the store now than we've ever had,’’ he added. In the only two weeks since Time Out started to run the program, the company has arranged 20 rental packages and anticipates a big surge.

The company is owned by Robbie Boyd, 42, a lifelong soccer player who has recently taken up hockey.
